Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons 
Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela 
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the 
laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emer-
gencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), the Venezuela Defense of Human

of press freedoms, use of violence and human rights violations and abuses

of antigovernment protestors, as well as the exacerbating presence of signifi-
cant public corruption, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby 
declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:
